Nice Collection,
By
This review is from: Classic Ghost Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
164 Pages
For those who, like me, occasionally have trouble with the "Look Inside!" function, here are the stories listed in this volume: An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street - J.S. Le Fanu No. 1 Branch Line: The Signalman - Charles Dickens Mrs. Zant and the Ghost - Wilkie Collins Reality or Delusion? - Mrs. Henry Wood The New Pass - Amelia B. Edwards The Body-Snatcher - Robert Lewis Stevenson What Was It? Fitz-James O'Brien The Real Right Thing - Henry James "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad" - M.R. James In Kropfsberg Keep - Ralph A. Cram The Lost Ghost - Mary E. Wilkins I'm glad I added this to my collection, as it has a few stories I've never even heard of by familiar writers. I've been a fan of Wilkie Collins since I stumbled upon "The Woman in White" and I still remain a fan. One thing that goes through my mind when reading these short story collections is, "Man, they really don't write like this anymore." On the binding/print: The font was good, and the spacing of the margins was good - sometimes with these volumes the print goes all the way to the binding, making it a little difficult to read without almost destroying the book. I didn't have that problem here.
